yes dear :)

Iran has unveiled its latest combat helicopter Toufan 2 (Storm 2) during a ceremony attended by the country’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi.

Speaking during the ceremony on Wednesday, Vahidi said the chopper belongs to a new generation of combat helicopters and enjoys modern and advanced technologies, including high-precision targeting capability.

He noted that Toufan 2 employs Iran’s latest indigenous achievements in electronics, optics, laser and armament capabilities.

Great news, hopefully IRI and khamenei drops dead soon, and Iran with its talented youth and smart ingeeners, can become a top world power again. This great news despite having a horrible government like IRI in place, is a achievement, God knows where Iran had been had these Mullahs not been in controll.

I agree 100%. Great Achievement. Just Imagine where we would be without the mismanagement and corruption under the IR.

I think it's absolutely fabulous that after 30 short years of the Islamic Republic we can copy US helicopter designs from the 60's and Columbian drug smuggling submarine technology from the early 2000's. Just imagine what we can accomplish in another 30 years under the IR.

I hope they fill these helicopters, jet fighters and submarines with Baradaraane Sepah and send them to free the sacred land of Palestine from Zionist and American Imperialism. It is time we take these great achievements and put a fist in the face of those Imperioslistic forces who think Iranians are push-overs. We have the greatest military in the world, so I don't know what we're waiting for. Baradaraane Sepah keep talking about pre-emtive strikes, but I just don't see them following through. How many more innocent Paletinians should be killed and locked in cages before Sepah takes action?!

LOL. Now, I'm trolling?! It's not like you provided (or IR released) any details of the performance, weapons, or avionics forthis aircraft. They just provided a picture of a helicopter that looks nearly identical to the original Cobra from the 60's, flying about 20 ft. off the ground if I may add! Those are the facts and I know you're not very good with those things. The same thing goes for the submarine for which I posted a near identical picture from the early 2000's of a Columbian drug smuggling submarine. Again, with absolutely no details of the performance, you want us to rely only on a picture to evaluate this achievement, so you're going to get an evaluation based on the picture. And did you talk to the people @ the Pentagon? Where they shitting themselves over this helicopter and the blue submarine?

Every progress in Iran that is initiated by the government is for show only. Most of these achievements come at a big cost but at the end of the day if they didn't spend the money on these "show" projects it would go for building Emamzadehs and helping Ayrabs. This is a good read in that regard:
دوستي داشتم كه مهندس پروژه برج ميلاد بود. شروع كرد به تعريف كردن. گفت:
" امروز يه گروه ژاپني اومده بودن براي بازديد. من هم با دو نفرشون رفتم و شروع به توضيح دادن كردم . از سه طبقه زيرزمين شروع كردم واينكه حدود ٤٥٠ تا ٥٠٠ ميليون دلار هم هزينه ساخت اون شده به اضافه اينكه ٨ سال هم از موقع شروع تا پايانش طول كشيده و بعد سالن اجتماعات رو نشونشون دادم و بعد هم رفتيم توي اسانسور كه قسمتهاي كلاهك و pinnacle رو بهشون نشون بدم كه توي اسانسور يكيشون پرسيد از اين قسمتshaft چه استفاده اي ميشه؟؟؟ من هم نيشخندي زدم و گفتم كه خوب معلومه ديگه اين قسمت كلاهك ٢٥٠٠٠ تني رو كه بزرگترين كلاهك برج مخابراتي در دنيا هست رو نگه ميداره. اون گفت نه منظورم اين نيست، يعني اينكه اينجا مسكوني هست يا اداري ؟؟ من گفتم نه اين قسمت خاليه و راه پله و اسانسور و انتقال تجهيزات از اينجاست. اون هم ديگه چيزي نگفت و رسيديم به بالاي برج . خلاصه اونجا هم يه سري چيزها رو نشون دادم روي تراس كه بوديم ژاپني اولي ازم سوال كرد كه اين كوهها مال كشور شماست؟؟؟ من هم بادي در غبغب انداختم و گفتم بله تمام اونها مال كشور ماست. گفت ارتفاعشون چقدره ؟؟ گفتم ٤٠٠٠ متر حدودا . گفت چقدر از اينجا فاصله داره ؟؟؟؟ گفتم حدودا ٨ تا ١٠ كيلومتر. بعد يه چيزي به ژاپني به هم گفتن و شونه هاشون رو بالا انداختن براي ناهار رفتيم و همهشون جمع شدن و من با اون اوليه سر يه ميز نشستيم. يه دفعه رو به من كرد و گفت شما گفتين اين برج shaft اش خاليه يعني استفاده اداري ومسكوني نداره؟؟ گفتم بله براي مخابرات ساخته شده. گفت شما گفتين اون كوهها هم مال شماست و كمتر از ١٠ كيلومتر با اينجافاصله داره؟؟؟؟ گفتم بله مطمئنا. گفت خوب اگه شما مسوول اين پروژه بودين چرا اين برج رو روي اون كوهها نساختين؟؟؟ گفتم اخه اين كه خيلي واضحه توي اون شرايط جوي اين همه مصالح براي ساختن برج اونجا رو چه جوري ببريم؟؟ گفت خوب من و دوستم هم همينو داشتيم بحث ميكرديم شما اصلا احتياجي به ساختن برج نداشتين يه دكل اونجا ميذاشتين . يه دكل مخابرات در ارتفاع ٤٠٠٠ متري بهتر از يه دكل روي يك برج ٤٠٠ متري عمل ميكنه. Shaft اين برج كه خاليه كاري انجام نميده. گفتم شوخي ميكنين، خوب اگه اينطوريه شما چرا خودتون بلندترين برج مخابراتي دنيا رو دارين ميسازين(SKY TREE بلندترين برج مخابراتي جهان در توكيو سال٢٠١٢ افتتاح شد ولي اون موقع در حال ساخت بود) ؟؟؟؟؟ گفت توكيو يه شهريه كه در كنار اب هاي ازاده. بلندترين منطقه اون ١٠٠ متر ارتفاع نداره . در ضمن تا ٦٥ كيلومتريش كوه ١٠٠٠ متري هم نيست چه برسه به كوه ٤٠٠٠ متري در فاصله ٩ كيلومتريش. گفتم اين همه برج مخابراتي تو دنيا هست... حرفم تموم نشده بود كه گفت برج رو كه براي رقابت نميسازن ، براي نياز ميسازن. تمام اونهاي ديگه هم از اين قاعده مستثني نيستن. ..... يك كم فكر كردم .. برج مسكو ، تيانشان، تورنتو، كوالالامپور .. راست ميگفت!!!! همه اينها در زمينهاي flat land ساخته شدن و حتي تا فاصله ده ها يا صد ها كياومتر اصلا يك تپه ٤٠٠ يا ٥٠٠ متري هم نيست!!!!!!!!
گفتم اخه ما نياز به يك سمبل ملي داشتيم ،،،، گفت شما ميتونستين يه سمبل ملي با ١٠ يا١٥ ميليون دلار درست كنين نه يك برج ٥٠٠ ميليون دلاري روي ضعيفترين نقطه شهر ،،، اونم بدون gyroscope كه حتي به يك طوفان اجازه ميده كه اون رو جابجا كنه و نه حتي زلزله. چون تا جايي كه من ميدون gyroscope به صورت built in كار گذاشته ميشه و بايد اون در محل قرار داده بشه و بعد pinnacle دورش ساخته بشه...
خلاصه اون ناهار كوفتم شد،،،،، و اون هم ديگه هيچي نگفت،،،، ناهارش كه تموم شد بلند شد و دستش رو روي شونه من گذاشت و گفت خيلي ازتون عذر مي خوام كه ناراحتتون كردم ، اصلا منظوري نداشتم،،،، . اينا رو گفت و دستش رو زد به پشتم و رفت...

Here's a picture of the Cobra by the way... almost identical. All they did was make the gun barrels a little bit longer since you guys all get excited with big cylindrical objects, and added a camera of the type you get on RC planes in the nose with a TV monitor in the cockpit and called it a whole new helicopter with advanced avionics. Whoopi doo.

800px-Ah-1cobra_1.jpg

Like I said, if they're building these and know they're as good as the say, load them up with Sepah and send them to free Qods. And here's the Super Cobra the Shah purchased in the 70's - at least he had the decency not to call it his own genius:

remember, iran cant buy a single bullet anymore due to UN resolution
Ino man jaaye dige ham gofte boodam: in jaryaane embargo chand hadaf daare: Amsaale to va joojeh basiji haaye dige baayad betoonan baad too ghabghabeshoon bendaazan o be eshghe khodkafaai zende baashan. Az ye tarafam baayad aksariate mardome donyaa ke mamoolan chizi az in jaryaanaat haalishoon nemishe, televisione roshan konan o be khodeshoon betoonan began: Didi, baa in IR jangide mishe, didi che ebargoi vaasashoon radif kardim? Dige nemitoonan davoom biaaran.This way, you can fool almost everyone on this earth and create a picture of an evil state that is effectively being opposed by the americans and european and UN bla bla...

Now to realities: In reality, nobody wants to put IR under effectiv embargos. Its a decoy. Its just called embargo but it does not do what it needs to do and they do it on purpose and absolutely intentionally. They want IR to get their weapans and arsenal but they simply dont want it to be regarded as official. Thats the best way to keep your puppet alive. You allow him to picture himself as mazloome khodkafaa uder unjustified embargos and make him be able to impress his own dumb people. Every now and then you tell him to show some muscles (which are no muscles at all and you know it well) by just starting some meaningless exercises in the persian gulf.

At the end of the day, you simply should pray for the american administration to keep backing you as the US administration knows exactly how to put an effecitve embargo on a third world country like Iran. They could easily make Iran not to be able to import one single bullet (Oonam be soorati jeddi, na faghat be harf o koso sheraaye amsaale to), not even a bottle of water, if they really wanted. They did it to Iraq, they dont want it to be put on Iran. As simple as this.

In late November, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister and top economic policy make Ali Babacan announced that his country has sidestepped US and European sanctions against Iran by paying for natural gas imports with gold. "In essence, gold exports [to Iran] end up like payments for our natural gas purchases," Mr. Babacan said. "Turkey is depositing the payment for the gas we purchase from Iran to Iran's account in Turkey." Western sanctions against the Iranian energy sector bans the Islamic Republic from receiving payments for gas exports in dollars or euros and Turkey's announcement sheds light on how countries breach the international sanctions regime.
(Wall Street Journal, November 23, 2012)


Do you really think the americans, the biggest super power on earth with all those intelligence resources and political minds, a power that is removing and installing whole governments around the globe, doesnt know about the existing holes in their embargos and regularities? lol. They know exactly. They are even designed like this to allow countries like Turkey (their own ally) to make some business that could benefit both sides.

Iran IS NOT put unter embargo. This phantom is just created to fool you and me and the rest of the fools on the streets of Iran and the West. These so called embargos are designed the way that the IR can easily pass the hardship to the people without suffering substancially as a regime.
Real ebargo was put on Iraq under Saddam and they simply dont want to put such an effective embargo on IR.

Not even a single Bullet can be imported haaa? Joojeh basiji?

Read how great and well working this american designed embargo is :)


- Iran retains strong relations with Pakistan and is working on a “peace pipe” that would transfer natural gas between Iran, Pakistan and India.

- Iran is the United Arab Emirates’ largest non-oil trading partner.

- Oman and Bahrain have been negotiating with Iran to buy natural gas.

-Smugglers in Oman have taken advantage of their close proximity to Iran and have been able to ship needed cargo and goods to Iran, helping the

- Islamic regime obtain goods that have been sanctioned for sale from the west.

- The Persian Gulf Cooperation Council decided to consider a Free Trade Agreement with Iran. The agreement will lead to economic benefits for the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.

- Austria's third-largest bank, Raiffeisen Zentralbank, remains active in Iran and has absorbed the transactions of other major European banks that shut down their operations in Iran.

- German engineering firm Aerzen secured a 21 million euro contract to supply a steel factory in Esfaham, Iran.
Treasure Capital Bank, based in Minsk, Belarus, is the subsidiary of Bank Tejerat in Iran, sanctioned by the United States in January 2012.

- In November 2011, the EU was shown to account for nearly 20% of all Iranian oil purchases in the first half of 2011, which helped to nullify the effects of any sanctions imposed against the Islamic regime. Italy, Spain and France were the leading purchasers of Iranian oil in 2011.

- In August 2011, Iran received 1 billion euros ($ 1.4 billion) from India for overdue oil debts. Indian refiners expect Iran to resume 400,000 barrels a day of oil exports in September 2011, since India began paying its debt that Iran Deputy Oil Minister Ahmad Qalebani said amounted to $4.8 billion.

- A January 2011 examination of German government trade statistics revealed that German export trade to Iran increased from $4,159,920,000 between January and October 2009 to $4,175,687,000 during the same time period in 2010. Iranian imports to Germany climbed to $909,176 between January and October 2010 when compared to $574,261 during the identical time frame in 2009.

- At the start of 2011, Iran was the second largest OPEC exporter, after Saudi Arabia, and during January - November 2010 generated revenues of $64 billion, an $11 billion increase over the full-year 2009 figure. Iran has also been chosen by OPEC members for the cartel's 2011 presidency.

- Swiss energy giant EGL signed a 25-year deal with the National Iranian Gas Export Company to buy 5.5 billion cubic meters of Iranian natural gas per year, starting in 2011, for approximately $20 billion.

- The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) published a study confirming that the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line (IRISL) has renamed nearly a quarter of its shipping fleet (90 out 123 vessels) in order to evade international sanctions. Additionally, the company has reflagged many of its ships so that shippers and maritime security agencies do not know they are moving Iranian vessels. Additionally, SIPRI noted that Iranian weapons smugglers are using respectable shipping companies out of Europe to move illegal weapons into Iran; though this was mostly done without the consent or knowledge of the companies.

- India, the world's fourth-largest oil consumer, said it would not take steps to cut oil and petroleum imports from Iran despite the US and European sanctions. "It is not possible for India to take any decision to reduce the imports from Iran drastically, because among the countries which can provide the requirement of the emerging economies, Iran is an important country amongst them," Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said.

LOOOL- The United States granted exemptions to Japan and ten European countries from the sanctions passed by President Obama that called for punitive measures to be taken against any country that continued doing business with Iran. These eleven nations were given breathing room on the sanctions because they showed a significant reduction in their imports of Iranian oil, however by granting the exemptions the U.S. has underscored the difficulty in fully implementing any santions meant to freeze the Iranian economy and force them to abandon their nuclear program.

- Switzerland decided against sanctioning Iran's central bank or imposing an embargo on Iranian oil, failing to follow in the footsteps of the EU. The Swiss Economics Committee said that the country would not follow the EU in freezing the assets of the Iranian central bank "due to its importance for the Iranian economy." While Switzerland does not directly import Iranian oil, the Swiss position could impact the activities of oil companies based in the trading hub of Geneva.

- A survey of Iran's shipping fleet showed that only seven of its 25 very large crude carriers were operating on-board transponders, which allow computers to track vessels. Going "off-radar," Iran is showing another way it is developed to sidestep international sanctions against the regime. Ships are obliged by international law to have a satellite tracking device on board when travelling at sea, but with them turned off it is increasingly difficult to gauge how much is moving out of the country's main terminal at Kharg Island.

- An intelligence report released by an independent energy policy group showed that Greece could become the achilles heal to EU efforts to cut out all Iranian oil imports. Over the past two years, Greece's oil imports from Iran have spiked to just under 200,000 barrels per day and Iran's share of Greece's crude imports has more than doubled (26% to 53%) as other countries have shied away from the economically unstable Greece. The intelligence report also noted that Spain and Italy, two other EU member nations, have become increasingly dependent on Iranian oil imports. These three countries consume nearly 90% of Iran's total oil exports to the European mainland, a factor that could eventually lead to the failure of EU sanctions.

- The United Kingdom was said to be persuading EU countries to delay implementation of sanctions against companies providing insurance to tankers carrying oil from Iran. Britain fears that the ban on insurance could lead to a dramatic spike in oil prices which would significantly damage the already weak European economy. The EU ban, meant to take effect July 1, would prevent European insurers from covering ships carrying Iranian crude anywhere in the world in an effort to stem the influx of money to Iran and thus force it to halt it nuclear program. "Britain will be pushing the EU to postpone the ban on protection and indemnity insurance by six month," said one diplomatic source.

- An Oxfam report and data released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute showed that Iran has imported over £350 million worth of weapons over the past three years, despite being subject to international sanctions. The country's success in " in tapping the international arms market showed the ineffectiveness of current restrictions." The UN Security Council, back in 2007, had requested countries to "exercise restraint" in supplying arms to Iran.

- An Israeli legal organization warned British satellite company Immarsat that it would pursue legal action against the company if it continued to provide guidance systems to Iranian commerical and military vehicles. According to the Shurat HaDin, the Ramat Gan-based legal group, Immarsat continues to provide critical services to Iran despite sanctions on such business imposed by the United States and European Union. A letter to Immarsat stated that Shurat HaDin wrote told the company to stop providing mobile satellites or risk “civil liability from American citizens or others who suffer as a result of Iran’s international sponsorship of terrorism.”

- The United States imposes additional sanctions on Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile proliferation networks, aiming to prevent the Islamic Republic from evading the effects of sanctions by targeting individuals, companies, and banks that do businesss with Iran. The Treasury and State Departments designated 11 entities and 4 individuals as part of a network of proliferators headed by Iran’s Ministry of Defense for Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL) and its subsidiary, Aerospace Industries Organization (AIO). The new sanctions also publicly exposed numerous front companies, ships and banks that work for the government of Iran.

- A list released of German companies conducting bilateral trade with Iran, including the selling of "dual-use" products, shows that trade continued unabate between the two countries until at least the end of calendar year 2011. Merchandize that can be used for military and civilian purposes falls under the rubric of “dual-use” goods. Germany is part of the P5+1 who have been making efforts to sanction the Islamic Republic, however Germany’s Federal Statistical Office said that bilateral trade with Iran in 2011 totaled nearly 4 billion Euros.

LOOOOL- The United States extended exemptions from sanctions on business with Iran to Japan and 10 European countries because they have significantly reduced their purchases of petroleum from the Islamic Republic. The US originally granted these 11 nations exemptions from sanctions in March 2012 as a way of forcing them to reduce their reliance on Iranian oil. The new extensions will enable banks in Belgium, Britain, Czech Republic, Frnace, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Japan to continue working with Iran without facing penalties for at least another 180 days.

- In spite of the European Union's inclusion of Iran on its sanctions list, the German Academic Exchange Service (or Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst, i.e. DAAD) signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran's Science, Research, and Technology ministry. DAAD acts with the approval of Germany's Foreign Ministry, so this latest development seems to indicate an uneven policy from Berlin vis-a-vis Iran's nuclear program.

you dont get it ? the original basic cobras delivered to Iran dont have any visual air to ground view/monitors... iran produced itself under embargoe... remember, iran cant buy a single bullet anymore due to UN resolution
For all we know they could of just put some monitors in there and put some pictures on the monitors to make it look “digital” . I remember the IRI made some claims about some “flying boats” a few years ago and then the photos were released and it was the most pathetic thing in the world and the mullahs and their fans ( people like you ) were jumping up and down like we achieved something great. And then let’s not forget the countless times we’ve seen photo shops of Iranian military tests. Its funny how people like you get a boner every time these thugs boast about a “great achievement” but 9 out of 10 these achievements are pure BS and are designed to give people like you a boner .
